It's that time of year, again.
Whether you're trap, bow, black-powder, shotgun, rifle or harpoon, good hunting everyone.

Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

Way to go,lads! That Bow whale should be great eating this Winter!
I intend to go for my annual moose hunt in about three weeks with my Brothers. We don't particularly care for the taste of whale meat,though the muktuk isn't bad,or we'd go up to Nunavut and party with the whale hunters.
It's good to see them using the traditional 18 foot Lund umiak.
And anyone who is anti-Inuit whale hunting can go **** themselves.
Great advice in your last sentence. If I may suggest, you could include anti-hunting of any sort.
I tried out two shells from a new box of Federal Target Load 12 ga 1 1/8 oz 7 1/2 shot. I was pleasantly surprised when I got a magpie from 175 feet.
Yes, good luck to all.
Going on my first hunt with a friend this year .........more just to learn how and figure it all out ....going for deer I guess I get to push bush . I also want to learn how hands on to field dress a deer!!
Thank you Lance and good luck to you and everyone else who knows where real food comes from. It's my favourite of the three seasons* and I have a new old rifle to try out this year, a BSA CF2 Stutzen in .243Winchester.
*There are only three seasons: 1. hunting 2. motorcycle 3. neither hunting nor motorcycle.
Duck season!!!
A remarkable Canadian hunting story of traditional culture.
Fortunately, for them they also had rifles along for the trip, or the two attacking polar bears would have been feasting on both whale and human flesh.
Keep your wits about you and your rifle handy. Polar bears aren't the only wild predator that might steal your game meat.
A few years back two experienced B.C. hunters were field dressing an elk, when they were attacked by three grizzlies, a sow and a pair of two year old cubs. Both men were killed before being able to get to their rifles.
In order to recover the men's remains, all three grizzlies had to be shot as they exhibited food carcass protective behaviour towards both the elk and humans.
Oct. 15th can't come soon enough!
Draw elk, regular moose.
Quad needs a little work, but time for that.
Good luck all hunters!!
em, birds this year, no time or energy for anything bigger.
Mostly grouse with.22LR headshots, and sometimes.38 Special in a Marlin lever when the mood arises.
It's really about enjoying nature :)
Wife and I are changing tack. Exploring bow hunting.
Another good news story ignored by the MSM and illuminati.
CTV hyping the non scientific IPCC white wash.
The story of the hunt is encouraging to see.
When I worked in the north the hunters were just a different breed from the non-hunters -- proud, self-reliant and tough.
Long live this tradition.
A SDA kill photo page would be cool :) Block out faces though!
Hey, it's not ALL about hunting. Just back from several days of beach fishing for coho salmon on the east coast of N. Vancouver Island. Fisheries says, "hatchery fish only", all wild fish to be released.
Guess what? Four out of five coho caught by all fisherman over three days were WILD salmon. Looks like the hatchery fish are the endangered species!
Had one fish grab my fly no more than twenty feet from me and it just ripped line off the reel. It happened so suddenly and violently that I reacted poorly, with the result being a lost fish and obviously, a very choice fly.
A few days ago there was a MSM Story about an NHL Player who shot a Grizzly in northern BC. The story went viral for a few days.
Dumb Bu**ars don't know anything about bears or don't care.
A trophy Bear of any species is an old Male; a Boar.
Older male bears will kill a bear cub on contact if they can get by momma. They are larger than momma so often do.
For this reason, momma brings Bobo down to the lower regions to get away from old Boars and thus encounters human activity.
On human/bear encounters, the bear cub usually looses. They are no match for a semi and too dumb to get out of the way.
Thus, you see, Mr. NHLer likely saved the lives of at least a dozen Bobos by terminating the old Boar a few years early, and so doing, ensured the overall health of the bear population. He is a hero.
At least that was the finding of the Eastern Slopes Grizzly Project back in the 1990's. I think the report has since been sanitized.
Deer hunting on Manitoulin Island. My favourite, as I love the late season. :)
Bowheads were on their way to extinction once due to over-hunting.
the inuit are allowed to use grenades! isn't that discrimination if us white folks can't use them too!! Just joking, please!
I thought Clayton Stoner, the NHL player in question, handled this issue well. There was more to the story, though, because the grizzly ('Cheeky') had been part of a documentary study (wouldn't you know it?:)
http://bc.ctvnews.ca/b-c-born-nhl-player-draws-fire-for-killing-grizzly-bear-1.1440213
Oops, my previous posting was in reply to yours.
Clayton still saved the lives of at least a dozen cubs, no matter if Cheeky is a celebrity.
“It’s such a barbaric practice,” said Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs. “Mostly non-resident hunters from outside the country, they pay outrageous amounts of money to go in by helicopter or other means and they shoot the animal, skin it out, and they leave the carcass to rot.”
I suspect that what is really barbaric is that the "Cheifs" don't get a large enough cut of the roughly $300 million the hunting industry is worth to the Northern economy of BC.
My understanding of the BC hunting regs. is that it is unlawful to leave a complete carcass in the wild to rot. What is left feeds other wildlife and a carcass doesn't hang around for long. As well, a hunter cannot fly in to hunt, only to the outfitters residence.
Bow hunting should be outlawed, it's cruelty IMO. Many foresters tell stories of live animals animals left wounded with by Robin Hood wannabes.

"Bow hunting should be outlawed...."
Not really, but there should be a qualification.
I say that all bow hunters should qualify first hunting an adult bear on the ground with no tree stand. After that deer should be a pinch.
Dumb bitches should be outlawed too.
Yep, and Clayton Stoner is a B.C. born-and-raised outdoors-man, from a family that's savvy about the ways of the wilderness. He's from a logging community.
Max! Watch your language when speaking of your mother!
Ah yes, hunting season. Here In the country we call it trespassing city folk season. Don't go for a walk in the woods, and don't let the kids play in the back yard.
It never fails to amaze me how many old retarded Italians from Hamilton show up out here with no hunting licence, no gun licence, no land owner's permission, basically no clue of any kind at all. Do the police arrest these schmucks, ever? Charge them with firearms offences, common trespass, game law offences?
No.
Funny; in all my years of hunting I can't say I have ever run into any of these much talked about Italians. The Italian-Canadians in BC's North are some of the best hunters I have ever heard of.
Hunting accidental shootings are also very rare. Accidental gun discharges in Police Stations; not so rare.
From my cold dead bow hand.
May your gernades go off near the heart and your bullets and arrows fly true.
That's because you go farther than thirty minutes from the city to go hunting. These geniuses never do. That's why we call it trespassing season.
And yeah, for some reason they all seem to be Italians. Maybe the odd Pole or Ukranian, but all the ones I've seen off out of here were Ginos.
Except for one pair who set up to shoot geese in the conservation area. They were All Canadian locally grown morons. Truth,they gave me the most lip.
Phantom; have you experienced the Italians personally? I first heard of this way back in 1964 in Alberta. I suspect it is a lot of hooey from people who don't like hunting. Buggers were usually small mixed farmers who regularly killed a hog or calf for winter meat.
That's why when asked why could I shoot such a beautiful animal I usually respond "tastes just like Lamb".
